Principal Activities
Driving Human–Machine Synergy
HUMAC explores how humans and intelligent systems can work together effectively — from haptic and olfactory interaction design to decision-making frameworks that keep people at the centre of automation.
Advancing Sensory and Robotic Intelligence
Our research integrates tactile, motion, and olfactory sensing with robotics and AI to create systems that perceive, adapt, and respond intelligently in complex, dynamic environments.
Building Technologies for Societal Impact
HUMAC applies its discoveries to real-world problems — from environmental monitoring using drones and federated learning to AI-driven healthcare and disaster response systems.
Cultivating Next-Generation Researchers
We nurture multidisciplinary talent through postgraduate research, collaborative projects, and technical training that bridge human factors, AI, and engineering.
Creating Partnerships and Knowledge Exchange
Through collaborations with universities, industry, and government agencies, HUMAC acts as a national platform for innovation, knowledge sharing, and technology transfer in human–machine collaboration.
Showcasing Research Excellence
Our team contributes actively to global scholarship and innovation through impactful publications, conferences, and community engagement — strengthening HUMAC’s presence as Malaysia’s emerging centre of excellence in human–machine collaboration.
